Tightrope

I promised to love. I swore to obey. I was compelled to betray. Married to my college sweetheart, I thought I knew my path. We were forging our perfect future, everything falling into place. Until the man I promised my life to changed into a cruel, cold shadow of the man I loved. With everything I thought I knew in tatters, I find myself in a bar, face to face with a sexy stranger who unlocks things about myself I'd long forgotten. Just one night. Wild and passionate. A balm for my bruised and lonely heart. Now I can't stop thinking about him, wishing I knew the name of the man who has set me free and stolen my heart. But happiness is never easy. Now caught between a twisted and dangerous past that won't let me go, and the hope for a future that once seemed so far out of my reach. I face the ultimate price as I'm left fighting for everything I want. Love that will last a lifetime. Duty or desire, what would you choose?

I've never stopped loving her, even when she hated me. I broke her heart, yet she remains the only woman I have ever loved. Knowing she would never forgive my betrayal, I moved on and became the ruthless and successful billionaire lawyer that everyone dreads to face across the courtroom, but I never forgot my sweet Cherry Blossom. When the woman I never stopped loving is thrust back into my life, all the feelings I buried so deep rush to the surface, and I know I will stop at nothing to have her look at me like she did when we were young and in love. If I have to play dirty to get her back in my bed and my life, then I will fight the dirtiest battle of my life because losing her once was my biggest mistake, and I have no intention of repeating it, no matter the cost. How can you love the man you hate the most? I've spent my life reinforcing the wall around my heart, the heart Jake destroyed when he stole my future from me. I made a life from the wreckage of our broken love, but now he's back, and those walls start to fracture. As our twisted past crashes into the future, revealing that not everything I believe about Jake is true, I find myself swept up in the attraction we share all over again. I know loving him has a price, but is it one I am willing to pay?
